Current Tab

The Current tab lists current medication - acutes within the date offset, and active repeat masters (the date offset is set in Consultation – Options – Setup – Drug Check – Therapy Data for Drug Checks – From Last (date offset), for instance 1Y for within the last year). This can be selected using the shortcut CNTL R.

  • Acutes
  • Active repeat master is either valid repeat; or expired repeat which need reauthorising

Sort Therapy Data by Date, GP etc - On either the Current, Scripts or Repeats tabs, click with the left mouse once on any column header to sort the data entries - for instance clicking on the Drug column sorts the list alphabetically A-Z and clicking again sorts Z-A. Clicking on the date column sorts dates chronologically from latest first, or clicking again, earliest first.

Sort the Current list into acutes and repeat masters - Click once with the left mouse on the Max column. Any with numbers against them in the Max column are repeat masters, and will be listed in numerical sequence. Any that are blank in the Max column are acutes . Clicking again will bring the acutes to the top of the list and the repeats listed thereafter.

Scripts Tab

The Scripts tabs shows all acutes (whether printed or not) and issues of repeats. Issues of repeats have a figure in the Iss column, and acutes do not. Details include the date printed, drug name, form and strength, how many issues have been made to date (or blank for acutes), the quantity and preparation, and the prescriber. When at the Scripts tab, an extra Therapy menu option appears on the main toolbar for keyboard users: New (F8), Print ((missing or bad snippet)), Reprint, Print Label, Close.

Sort the Scripts tab into acutes and issues of repeats - Click on the Iss column once with the left mouse. Those with numbers are issues of repeat masters. Those without numbers are either unissued repeat masters or acutes.
